At least four people were killed and dozens injured in a shooting last night in the nightclub area of Birmingham, Alabama. According to police, four of the injured are “in danger of life.” Three of the victims, two men and one woman, died instantly, while a fourth died in hospital.
“We believe that more than one person opened fire on a group of people, our investigators are working to determine if the assailants were on foot or fired from a car and for this we need people’s help,” Birmingham Police Department officer Truman Fitzgerald said at a news conference, specifying that no arrests have been made at this time.
Fitzgerald did not speculate on the motive, but added that “all of the victims were outdoors, on the sidewalk or on the street,” so it was not an attack inside a specific venue. Finally, he asked all venues equipped with security cameras to hand over the relevant material to the police. Last night’s shooting is the second mass shooting in the city in a few months, last July four people were killed in a nightclub.
